....and management of major urban disasters [1] The real world utility and manifold complexities inherent in this domain make it attractive as a challenge problem for the mobile autonomous robots community. For a description of the issues pertaining to intelligent robots for search and rescue, see [2]. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the type of environment that a rescuer has to confront with a collapsed building. There is totally unstructured rubble, which may be unstable and contain many hazards. Victims locations and conditions must be established quickly. Every passing minute reduces the ....

....has been developed that is capable of modifying the configuration of modules to choose one of several variants of locomotion, dependant upon the current environment [10] An area of particular interest in terms of small robots with locomotion is the task of Urban Search and Rescue. Researchers [2] hope that the number of victims of a catastrophe can be reduced by sending robots in first rather than risk more lives. Specific projects utilize reconfigurability and unique forms of locomotion such as CONRO [3] and the marsupial approach [6] Both approaches allow for larger robotic systems to ....

....and consist of rubble and destroyed interiors. Due to the shortage of certified workers and dogs that can enter and work in a collapsed site, plus the extreme time pressure on survivors, mobile robots have been proposed as a third leg of a human dog robot triad. 1] 2] As detailed in [1] 2] [3], small robots can perform tasks that neither humans, dogs, nor existing tools can do. Previous work [4] has established the utility of teams of heterogeneous mobile robots and polymorphic, or shapeshifting, robots for the victim detection task in urban search and rescue. At first, the obvious ....

....edu tim identification, e.g. thermal imaging, acoustic, video. According to FEMA statistics taken from disasters in the United States, only 50 of the victims will be surface victims, easy to detect. The remainder will be lightly cov ered (30 ) or trapped in voids spaces (15 ) or entombed (5 ) [3] The non surface victims pose the most potential gains for robotic detection. Video cameras can be used to used to detect those victims who are conscious and moving as long as they are not entombed behind rubble. Thermal cameras can detect whether a visible motionless victim is alive but ....

....have been researching mobile robots for Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) since 1996. Our hands on experience includes having a graduate student and thesis based on the Oklahoma City bombing [4] and attending training classes in USAR with the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue department. Previous work [5] has investigated the US FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) documents concerning USAR in order to generate an understanding of the potential roles of intelligent mobile robots. This understanding, or domain knowledge, should help RoboCup Rescue provide a meaningful competition and to ....

For example, the Yellow and Orange Sections should have throw rugs on the floors, fallen debris such as magazines, books, bills, toys, etc. Otherwise, the Yellow Section is actually easier than the Office Navigation thread in the AAAI ....

....that rescue workers would be visible in a real site. We note that at a real site , access to the hot zone is strictly controlled and very few, certified technical rescue workers are permitted in the hot and warm zones. The rest must wait in the cold zone at least 250 feet from the hot zone. [4] Also, at a real site, walls would have blocked views of people versus the half height panels. Second, in order to record and broadcast the event, photographers and cameramen were permitted in the ring during the exhibitions and competition. During the exhibition, a cameraman repeatedly refused ....
